California Farm Zucchini Potato Gochujang Stew
I love a spicy sauce that brings hearty vegetables together in a stew, and gochujang pepper sauce does just that with zucchini, yellow squash, red and yellow potatoes, celeriac, parsnip, carrot, celery, mushroom, scallion and garlic.
To find your gochujang spice comfort level, you ladle the vegetables on your plate with a slotted spoon, and add one tablespoon of broth. Taste. You can add a spoon of yoghurt, sour cream or coconut cream to the stew after a few bites if too pungent. Over time, your taste will develop, tolerate and demand more spice.
This stew smells wonderful in your kitchen. The dinner will also give you a wonderful feeling like you had a filling meal without being stuffed.
